I working with a friend to come up with our own poor man's dynamic
dns. All I do is mail him my zone file to a particular account. It
then gets fed through script that grabs the zone file and tells bind
to re-read it maps. Not very elegant, secure, etc, but dead simple.

I'll post again once I get my side automated.
